Deep Six

The Deep Six is Walrus Audio's optical compressor designed to bring studio-quality compression to your pedalboard. Optical compression is prized for its smooth, musical response that's less aggressive than VCA or FET-based designs.

Level, sustain, and attack controls provide the essential compression parameters. The sustain knob sets how much compression is applied, while attack determines how quickly the compressor responds to transients. Level compensates for volume changes when compression is engaged.

The result is transparent compression that evens out dynamics without squashing your tone. Great for adding sustain to clean tones, tightening up overdriven sounds, or simply ensuring consistent output levels. The Deep Six became a staple on pedalboards demanding studio-quality squeeze.
